Chapter 892: The Adultery That Was Broken (Part II)
Sun Ziming actually doesn't care, how much does Hanks account for the 50% investment, or Nicole? Kidman didn't worry that Hanks would use this to blackmail him, because he didn't believe that Hanks would do something stupid. His little affair with Nicole is too common in Hollywood, not to mention anywhere else, when he has a party at his own house, there are often people who see the right eye to get into the guest room, or go to the woods to do something between adult men and women.
Now that Nicole is divorced, let alone let him bump into it, even if he gets a picture, so what? Could it be that he, who is a superstar, can still take the initiative to go to the paparazzi to break the news?
It's just that today Hanks broke it, and the previous things can't be hidden. Although those things were done by Douglas, Sun Ziming, as their boss, still has to take responsibility for this. If Hanks didn't know, he might have pretended to be deaf and dumb, but if they knew, he would have to make amends.
Sun Ziming means this, Nicole and Hanks both know it, but how to divide 50% of the shares, neither of them wants to give in. If it was someone else's idea or script, the two would not be so interested, but Sun Ziming's script means that there is no loss, and the rate of return is extremely high! Giving up a percentage point may mean millions of net profits, which is a great temptation for the two who rely on movies to eat.
'Knock knock', the door of the study that was not closed was knocked, and Sun Ziming, who was writing the outline of the script, looked back and scolded: "If you have something to say, get out of here!" ”
"Oh", Liu Weiqiang sat on the edge of the desk, reached out to take a cigarette, lit a cigarette, and took two puffs before he said curiously: "Brother Ming, what's the situation downstairs?" The men are like gangsters, and the women are like shrews, and they are about to tear their faces. ”
That's for sure, celebrities are just glamorous in front of people, and behind people for profit, which one is easy to mess with?
"Oh, a piece of fat fell out during the meal."
Lost a piece of fat? Liu Weiqiang doesn't know Sun Ziming and Nicole? Kidman had a leg, and when he heard his boss say this, he felt very strange, and hesitated: "You have a handle for them to catch?" ”
Sun Ziming took the cigarette he lit and said angrily: "Fuck, what handle do I have?" It's not that you are not clean, Lao Tzu is here to help you wipe your ass? Damn, I really responded to that sentence, if you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it! ”
Doing things yourself uncleanly? Liu Weiqiang immediately remembered the divorce battle between Cruise and Nicole, and then remembered the two photos that were enough to fake the real thing, and then it suddenly dawned on him that the photo was Douglas and they were playing ghosts. And only that guy can make Jesse? Okasaku and Tim they helped.
"That's no wonder, Douglas was a bit unsophisticated, I thought Scientology was doing a ghost!"
Sun Ziming glared at him and said word by word: "Fart!" That's what Scientology does, can our company do that kind of thing? ”
Liu Weiqiang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly laughed: "Yes, it's the science teaching, our company has always been above board, how can we do that kind of dirty thing!" ”
This is about the same, Sun Ziming knocked on the table with a pen holder, "Tell me, don't you see that I'm busy?" ”
"Hey, Brother Ming, "The Matrix 2" can't be filmed. That Karen is also too greedy, and actually asked for a salary of 16 million and a 5% box office share, isn't this slanderous? Ajie is only 20 million, and he doesn't get paid in cash! ”
Well, Sun Ziming put down his pen and rubbed his temples, Karen did it on purpose, or it should have been Alexander's idea. Even if the company agrees to her conditions, Alexander will find other ways to delay time, Karen is four months pregnant, how can she still be like ordinary people?
I really don't understand what Karen thinks, she has done everything according to her requirements, and she still can't even get through a phone call, and she can only pass the word to Guò Alexander. Hey, maybe I really let her down and hurt her. That kid is too simple, he followed him when the model training class came out, and Alexander usually watched it closely, and he had too little experience in society.
After pondering for a while, Sun Ziming smiled bitterly in his heart: "Promise her, but the negotiation process still has to go, and the film will be postponed to the second half of next year." ”
"Huh?"
Liu Weiqiang never thought that this would be the result. He came here just to put some pressure on UTA and not be too greedy. Relying on just one film, it soared from 800,000 to 16 million, and there is no precedent for this in Hollywood! If you start this way, what will you do in the future? Light and shadow is not a small company, if it starts this, it will make peers gossip.
If Karen didn't want to create her own clothing brand, Sun Ziming might have told Liu Weiqiang the truth, but now she can only make excuses.
"We have a limited sale period for our stocks, and I want to raise the winning rate next year and cash out some of the shares. Those Foundations are a bit dishonest, just let them bleed! ”
Although "The Matrix" was produced by Sun Ziming Film Studio, Liu Weiqiang was still unwilling to be blackmailed, arguing: "No, we admit it like this? ”
Hey, it's not as simple as you think. If people dare to put forward this condition, they must have her to rely on and do as I say. :”
After speaking, Sun Ziming also felt that this was a bit out of line, and said: "In this way, discuss with Brian, increase the salary to two million, and give the remaining fourteen million to them from other channels." ”
"Yes, I'll inform Lena now", Liu Weiqiang immediately remembered the people behind Alexander, and stopped insisting.
"Hmm", Sun Ziming picked up the pen again and continued to write the outline of the script, ready to fill in the writer who was not yet famous after he finished writing.
After Liu Weiqiang finished making a phone call, he sat on the edge of the table and watched Sun Ziming write the outline of the script, the more he watched it, the more he felt that it was tasteful, and after he finished writing, he gossiped: "Brother Ming, did you shoot this film yourself?" ”
"What? Do you want to shoot? ”
'Hehe', Liu Wei forced a straight hey hey, Sun Ziming threw the outline to him funny, and scolded with a smile: "This is a thriller theme, are you sure?" ”
Liu Weiqiang caught a stack of manuscript paper with a smile, and said flatteringly: "Or, after the screenwriter writes it, I will draw a storyboard script first, and you will help check it?" ”
Robbed someone Lang? Howard once, Sun Ziming didn't mind robbing him twice, anyway, he didn't know him well, and at most he touched the cup twice at the party. This film, Sun Ziming really doesn't want to shoot it, it's better to cheapen other people, it's better to cheapen his own people.
"Okay, you go downstairs and get those two guys in the house first, as long as they agree, I'll be fine."
"Okay", Liu Weiqiang ran down with a smile, and Nicole and Hanks, who were arguing downstairs, immediately shut up when they saw him coming down.
"Two, the boss has found me a good job, and wants me to help you direct a film, let's talk about the terms of cooperation."
'Shit, trouble is coming! ’
The two scolded secretly in their hearts, China Ming accounted for half of the shares, and now he ran out of a bastard who shared the cake, and it was not good to refuse him. This bastard is one of the best commercial directors in Hollywood, and if China Ming is unwilling to direct, he is the best candidate. Only he and the director of the light and shadow company can throw the sub-shot script to China Ming for check.
Storyboard script, as long as you draw a storyboard, you can shoot it yourself!
Hanks forgot about the argument and threw a look at Nicole, motioning for her to take care of it. Since you have a leg with China Ming, his subordinates, who do you not mess with?
Speaking of benefits, Nicole? Kidman didn't have much to say, so he opened his mouth and said, "I negotiated with Hanks just now, I accounted for 28%, and he accounted for 22%!" We welcome you to direct, and we can pay you 15 million plus a 5% share of the box office. ”
Hanks just wanted to object, but when he remembered that instead of three people, it would be better to take 22% himself.
However, the benefits have always been shared by those who see them, how can Liu Weiqiang rely on them?
"NO, NO, 15% for one of you, 20% for me. Don't forget jì, cinema is the art of directing! ”
Black, it's really dark! Nicole and Hanks' faces are dark, which is a bit of a benefit, it is clearly a robbery!
"NO, Wai (Liu Weiqiang), this is your boss's compensation for us, you don't want a percentage point! If you don't want to, we'll take the script and go to the director ourselves. ”
Liu Weiqiang was really pinched by Nicole, since the big guy said that he would raise the company's profit rate next year, then "The Matrix" and "The King of Killers" can't start filming, isn't it that he has to be idle for a year this year? This book is good, just looking at the outline, I feel that the plot is confusing, and it will definitely be more attractive after writing the script!
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Weiqiang also said-for-tat: "Nicole, if I don't answer, no one in the Light and Shadow Company will answer." If we don't answer, you are looking for a director outside, can you be so relieved? ”
This really didn't do much for Nicole, she made up her mind that she didn't divide it or not, and it was a big deal that she would meet the guy's other requirements. As a woman, Nicole is well aware of the inferiority of men. How many years do you have left for your beautiful youth? Why don't you take advantage of the present to get more benefits, and wait for your old age and decrepit color to beg others?
"No, Ming promised us something, and we are not afraid that he will break his promise!"
Seeing that this woman didn't give in, his boss agreed again, and Liu Weiqiang had no choice but to raise his hand to make a surrender, "Ok, 20 million salary, I'm worth that price!" ”
This is not excessive, people are indeed worth the price. Nicole glanced at Hanks triumphantly and reached over her hand, "Deal!" ”
Hanks was a little unwilling, but for the sake of not letting Liu Wei take advantage of it, he had no choice but to put his hand under the two of them, and said with a wry smile: "Deal!" ”
The three reached a cooperation agreement, and Liu Weiqiang gave the script outline to Hanks, "Hanks, the script outline is written, you go to your friend." Boss said, we only need the script, and the copyright of the novel can be given to that writer. ”
“Ok”
Hanks took the outline and carefully put it in his coat pocket, his friend should not object, this is China Ming's idea, he only needs to be responsible for writing some bridges.
